The StrategEast Westernization Index 2020 assesses the processes of adherence to the Western values in post-Soviet countries outside of Russia across five dimensions - political, legal, economic, cultural, and lifestyle. The second edition of this Index, released two years after the first one, retains its unique features:- it is the only report to analyze the 14 countries of the Post-Soviet, Non-Russian region (PSNR) region as a whole;- it measures each country's wholesale integration into the Western world across many sectors;- it is prepared for the West by experts from the region.However, the present edition of the Index has a fundamentally different quality: it now reveals not only a static but also a dynamic picture of Westernization in the post-Soviet countries outside of Russia. The second edition shows trends in political, economic, and legal Westernization, and by extension, the effectiveness of efforts by Western institutions operating in the region. The Index is a useful tool for public institutes, both in the Post-Soviet, Not-Russian (PSNR) region itself, and in the West.

Abstract: A diet manual incorporating current diet therapy concepts and recent research on nutritional management is presented for use by medical and dietary personnel in health care facilities. Therapeutic and special diets are arranged in 8 tabulated sections: standard hospital diets; pediatric nutrition; modified consistency and gastrointestinal diets; calorie, protein, fat, and sodium controlled diets; and miscellaneous and test diets. Diets reflect revised recommendations of the American Diabetes and Heart Associations where applicable, and meet RDAs unless otherwise noted. A physician's guide facilitates the ordering of diets for specific diseases. Cooperation between physician and dietitian is encouraged to optimize nutritional care of the patient. A diet as tolerated policy, rather than rigid food restrictions, is recommended. Appendices provide supplementary information on weight-for-height, weights and measures, nutrients, food composition, and sodium, potassium, magnesium, and caffeine content of foods and beverages.
